1.7.2. Move between db and file system

File Gallery allow to store files in the database and in the file system. Nowadays you can move the file in the database to the file system and the other way round, which is very helpful when migrating a tiki from one hosting to another one, for instance.

1.7.3. Admin panel

File Gallery allow to have a special view that displays all the files of all subgalleries under the filegalleries with specific columns allowing an admin to have a quick administrative view of the gallery. Possibility to filter on files not used since, not modified since, orphans

1.13. Logs

Action log and Syslog have been merged into a single and improved feature, and a fancier name was picked Logs

Moreover, some actions from anonymous users, such as adding events in calendars and adding emails in newsletters have been included in the system logs in order to keep track of the ip from where those additions of information were made. This way, wherever spam is detected, these ip's can be banned as usual with the Banning feature

1.14. Membership Payment System

The goal, for Tiki5, is to support membership payments via Paypal. So you join a group (ex.: members) and you are sent to Paypal, you pay your dues, and Paypal sends you back a confirmation and 1 year is added to your membership. This will permit to offer paid subscriptions to access restricted sections in a site.

This is part of a strategy to make Tiki into a CRM. (started in Tiki5, better in Tiki6)

System is designed to allow for other payment systems (ex.: Google Checkout), although these are not yet being developed.

1.15. Metrics Dashboard

Initially developed as part of the Support Mozilla project, the metrics dashboard allows the administrator of a site to configure metrics to be tracked over time. The site editors can then use these metrics to investigate changes in usage.

1.16. Module display for admins

Modules configured to be displayed only to anonymous users can now be displayed also to Admins, unless the "Hide anonymous-only modules from Admins" is enabled at "Admin > Module".

1.17. OpenID update

OpenID was updated to support more different providers.

php-openid updates from 2.1.3 to 2.2.2

1.22. Profiles

1.23. Rating (advanced)

Advanced Rating system has been added, which allows for more control over the aggregation of scores.

Rating methods are defined globally and will be used for all supported objects. They are defined through the Advanced Rating administration panel (tiki-admin.php?page=rating). Multiple methods can be created. If a method contains type-specific calculations, it will be ignored when performing the calculation.

1.24. RSS to native articles (planet-type sites)

You can now not only show & aggregate RSS feeds, but you can import them as native articles in Tiki, where you can comment, vote on, tag, categorize and redistribute via RSS.

1.26. Slideshow (JQS5)

1.27. Spam protection

The anti-bot captcha image has been added to a few more places, including calendar items and newsletter subscriptions when anonymous users are allowed to perform such actions.

1.28. Spreadsheets enhanced

A few annoying and old bugs were fixed in Spreadsheets. Moreover, a new interface based on the Jquery spreadsheet has been implemented to allow using it to edit spreadsheets.

Furthermore, wiki syntax is nowadays allowed in spreadsheets and will be converted to html when the spreadsheet is displayed.

1.29. Searchable admin panels

So many features! So many options? Where was that? A new search in tiki-admin.php let's you find quickly!

1.30. Share access rights with friends

Share access rights with friends, as an example, allows you to grant access to a friend of you to see some page which is hidden for anonymous users. It's linked with the feature "tell a friend".

More information below at "Token access".

1.31. Themes: New and old ones

While Tiki is themeable to do anything, the easy availability of nice & diverse themes has historically been a challenge. Tiki used to have 30+ bundled themes. Most were removed because it was very hard to maintain them. Many were just small variations of a few main ones. Nowadays, with the re-architecture of themes since Tiki3 and with theme options, the effort to maintain becomes reasonable.

Thus, Tiki5 includes some of the former themes as variations of the new "Arcturus" theme style to be selected as options: geo, matrix, simple, smartiki....

Arcturus theme style, with some of legacy themes recovered in Tiki5 as options from Arcturus base theme style

Moreover, two brand new themes (with their corresponding optional varitions) are included in Tiki5:

Jqui

Fivealive

Jqui theme style based on jquery user interface

Fivealive theme style, with some of its variants

Jqui theme style, with its two variants (excitebike and troncastic)

1.31.1. Skeleton theme for designers

Tiki themes are meant to be used with minimal modification. Add a logo, set the title, and subtitle, etc. and they are very efficient in this.

But what if you want to start from scratch? Say hello to skeleton.css, a theme that serves a base for theme designers that want to build from the ground up!

1.32. Token Access

Token access allows to access the content with superior rights with the presentation of a token. The primary use of this authentication method is to grant temporary access to content to an external service. So, in simple words, it can be explained as "share access with friends".

1.33. Trackers

Additional filter in TRACKERLIST: to be able to filter on the value of a field of another item

Additional filter on status in Tracker field "items list".

1.34. Translation: improved interface

The translation interface has been extended in a dual pane window, where the diff between the source pair of versions is shown in the left, with comments and links for previous versions underneath, and the open wiki page for thepage in the target language to be translated to is shown on the right.

1.35. WebDAV

File Gallery can be accessed with a WebDAV client, such as Nautilus from Gnome, Konqueror or Dolphin from KDE (GNU/Linux), or the Open As Webfolder Firefox plugin in MS Windows.

This means also the ability to drag & drop files from your favourite file manager in you desktop computer directly to the webdav-powered file gallery in Tiki. Or re-arranging files in subfodlers, etc. in the Tiki file galleries directly from your favourite file manager desktop application:

1.36. Wiki edit zone

The wiki edit zones (also used in blog/newsletter/articles...) can be resized with draggable resize handles even in browsers not based on webkit like Firefox and derivatives, thanks to Jquery magic.
